Except that that's kinda hard to do when you can't throw a stick witohut hitting someone that had a kid 6 months after getting married...

They'd have to be like hypocrites from Krypton... every 3rd person would have to be Newt Gingritch...

Also, you didn't read that cracked link, did you... apparently they encouraged sex just fine, as long as you where married...

Considering the secular nature of your constitution i'd actually say you got more crazy with religion sometimes between then and now...
Hypocrites from Krypton is an apt description - and a good name for a band.

I did read the cracked link. Far be it for me to impugn the scholarly credentials of Cracked magazine... and yes before you point it out, I checked up on the links linked as well.. most of them went to non-academic sources and some were even broken links. It's possible it is completely true, partially true, entirely false... my money's on mostly true, but it doesn't disagree with what I'm saying - they beat each other over the head with puritan zealotry in public and got all carnal behind closed doors. And nobody called anybody else on their bullshit because they had their own skeletons hiding in plain sight.

Because killing people is good, clean american fun, while getting pregnant isn't?
I would like you to ask which makes for a more fun video game:

Call of Duty? Or Call of Booty?

Also I refused to vote as I don't see an option where Jersey Shore is taken off the air.

Jersey Shore is a cable show. Doesn't apply to the subject.

Pretty sure one of the big points was that puritans encouraged sex within marriage... and some of teh sources do mention how there where clear examples of guys using sex to force the issue of marriage... while bastards where at an all time low...

The point i was making is that they didn't seem to actually have a problem with sex itself, just the one outside of marriage... while right now in the US all sex talk is somewhat frowned upon...

Also, the Oxford Journals isn't a academic source now?
